Testimonial

“Your officers were punctual, professional and we felt safe in their presence.”

—Patricia Tatum, Wedding Security

"We had a situation where we needed a police presence immediately. They were able to respond that day and provide us with a quality officer. The process was smooth and the billing component was really easy to complete."

—Orlando Apodaca, CVS Caremark, Regional Loss Prevention Manager

“It is always a pleasure working with (your office), and the detail officers have been very professional and courteous. Our employees in the field feel much safer and can concentrate on their work without the fear of someone opening the door of the trailer or running into them. We appreciate all of the police officers and all that you do every day.”

—Darlene Barbier, Hunt Telecom

About Us

The Office of Police Secondary Employment

In May 2012, Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced a major step forward by creating the Office of Police Secondary Employment (OPSE). The new, independent organization manages secondary employment for police officers. The new system centralizes oversight and shifts the responsibility for all aspects of police secondary employment from the individual officer to the OPSE. This means all initial contracting of work, joint planning to meet customer needs, scheduling of officers and supervisors, payment and accounting for work, and customer feedback will be executed and managed by the OPSE. Freeing officers of this administrative burden allows the police department to focus on preventing, fighting, and investigating crime in our city while maintaining an important supplementary service for businesses and civic organizations and preserving additional earning potential for our officers.
